<i>Never befriend a player </i>

New England coach Fabio Capello has an iron philosophy for success - never be a player's friend.
The tough, uncompromising Italian, who was handed a four and half year contract on Friday with the task of making England a serious international force rather than a laughing stock, is determined to ensure that players know their place.
"A coach needs to speak to his players but not become their friend," said the 61-year-old.
"If you become a player's friend, the others are immediately jealous and then start to think someone is playing just because he is a friend of yours.
"A coach needs to be humble, with a strong personality and be respected by the players."
Capello will start work in January and attempt to restore the confidence of a team whose failure to make the finals of Euro 2008 cost his predecessor Steve McClaren his job.
"In order to improve you have first to find your player's weak points, but you can only improve a person or a player if he understands that everything you do is with the purpose of improving him and not just to expose his weaknesses,"Capello told www. uefa.com.
"The best thing that happened to me, I think it's worth telling, is when I was coaching Clarence Seedorf at Real Madrid. After two months with him, I asked him: 'Do you think you can shoot?' He said: 'Yes, very well'.
"I told him he could shoot only one way. In football you shoot several ways, with the outside of your foot, with the inside, and I gave him a small lesson. He is a lad with great character and determination and he started to work hard and improved a lot."
